If you want to step more away from that sweet, Negroni-like profile, and for an extra layer of flavor, I'd suggest splitting the red bitter liqueur to allow for that darker taste of coffee liqueur. So try 3/4 oz red bitter liqueur and 1/4 oz coffee liqueur.

This was good and added a nice subtlety to the cousin Negroni. The cognac vs the gin drew more of the fruit out of each of the sweet vermouth and the Campari. I do like it, but not sure I would run to this when after this flavour profile.

A great variation of the Negroni where you can play with flavour combinations using different cognacs/brandies and vermouths

Like this very much indeed. A lovely aperitif.

Very nice addition to my repertoire of equal parts cocktails! I think the Vermouth is key to how sweet it is. I used Vermut Lustau, which is a nice Spanish vermouth.

Sorry mr. Difford but San Benedetto is located in Italy not in France ;-)

Too sweet. I added an extra shot of brandy and it didn't help. Boulevardie much better.

Very nice Negroni style cocktail. Great as an aperitif. Flavours blend together.
